678e1955b1 manual: delete dangling pointer to real-world NixOS configs
At some point we probably want to replace this with a curated list
of configurations or even an upstreamed repository of examples, but
for now this is just noise.

Fixes NixOS/nixpkgs#14522

d6998b0674 nixos manual: recommend use of dd for writing the image
Unetbootin works by altering the image and placing a boot loader on it.
For this reason, it cannot work with UEFI and the installation guides
for other distributions (incl. Debian and Fedora) recommend against
using it.

Since dd writes the image verbatim to the drive, and not just the files,
it is not necessary to change the label after using it for UEFI
installations.

vcunat: tiny changes to the PR. Close #14139.

9c2f2bc893 kernel-config: Enable FB_VESA and FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
Commit 159fed47bc (nixos/grub: Fix video display on efi) changed BIOS
systems to start in non-text mode as well. Enable FB_VESA to get a
framebuffer console on BIOS systems. Change FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE to 'y'
instead of the default 'm' to so the user doesn't need to manually load
the fbcon module anymore.

Other distros have similar defaults, at least on Arch:
    CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
    CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
and on Ubuntu (12.04):
    CONFIG_FB_VESA=m
    CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y

Fixes #8139

Avoid pointing to the wiki for the default installation method (which points back to the manual anyway). Use more words.
